Our classrooms have been busy learning all about the history of Thanksgiving! From exploring the traditions of the first feast to trying out fun costumes and hands-on activities, our students are soaking up every moment.
Grateful for learning, community, and for ACES family!









🦃 Two days before Thanksgiving and our PE classes are in full turkey hunting mode!
Our “hunters” are hiding behind the blind, and our speedy “turkeys” are darting back and forth trying not to get hit with the ball. So much laughter, energy, and Thanksgiving fun in the gym today!
Nothing like a little pre-holiday excitement to keep us moving! 🏃♂️🎉🦃

Congrats to our 4th grade ACES student for being selected as the elementary winner for the Buckle Up Phone Down Billboard Competition! Look for her design on billboards in St. Joe, Cameron, & Brookfield throughout December and featured on the MoDOT NW District FB page.

Thanksgiving Break Reminder!
ACES will dismiss early at 12:50 PM on Wednesday, November 26 to kick off the holiday break!
There will be no school on November 27 & 28 as we take time to count our blessings and enjoy a little turkey and pie. 🥧
Staff will return on Monday, December 1 for a professional development day, and students will be back in class on Tuesday, December 2.
We’re thankful for our amazing ACES students, families, and staff! 💛💚

Using food as a learning tool is both valuable and FUN! 🍽️📚
From building teepees out of tortillas to reading about pancakes and then cooking up a fresh batch—our classrooms are full of hands-on, tasty learning.
Nothing like a little “mmm… mmm… GOOD!” to make lessons stick!










It’s the 67th day of school, so around here we just smile and say 6…7! 😄 The kids started it… and honestly, we’re all in on the fun now!









Who knew a rainy Monday would turn into a brand-new school fad? Today is the 67th day of school, and our students decided to celebrate by chanting “6…7!” all day long.
We kicked off the morning with some balloon fun, and from there the excitement just kept growing. If you can’t beat ’em… join ’em!
Here’s to finding joy in the little moments that make ACES such a special place to learn and grow. 🎈💛📚
